DVLA updates rules to help bus and lorry drivers with diabetes

DVLA has today (7 November 2025) announced changes to how bus, coach and lorry drivers can monitor their glucose levels.

Under the changes, drivers will be able to use glucose monitoring technology, such as Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems (CGMS), instead of using finger-prick tests.

The changes take effect from today.
